Our "Filter” step can also allow custom inputs. This includes relative date variables and dashboard controls, which allows you to use data outside of your chart results to filter your chart output.
Variables can be used as is in the input field or can be combined to further customize your filters.
For example, if you want to only include results in your chart for dates later than your "Calendar" control’s start date (here, named CALENDAR), you can simply type the variable or control name in the condition. Since we’re using a “Calendar” control with a date range, we need to use the Atlassian Analytics-specific syntax to use the control’s start date: {CALENDAR.START}
If your control is set to only one date, you won’t need to append anything to the control’s name and can input it as is.
Below is another example of the “Filter” step—this time using our relative date variable {TODAY}to only include results from dates before today’s date. This date automatically changes according to the current day and filters the chart without needing manual changes.
